Dates, Events, and Reminders

Hello!

I’m quite new to Agenda, and been figuring out how the dating works. I paid for the subscription so I can use this feature but I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong. I can see my calendar date, and when I add a date to a note, it doesn’t show in my calendar app or in the agenda side menu (right menu). Is there something I’m doing wrong?

I’ve tried looking solutions online, but I think either I’m putting the wrong question, or idk.

Welcome to Agenda!

There are two different concepts here:

  1. Dates on notes are Agenda’s own system. When you assign a date to a note (using the calendar button top-right of the note), that date is just for organizing within Agenda. It doesn’t create a calendar event.

  2. Linking to calendar events is a separate step. You can link a note to an existing calendar event by clicking the calendar button and selecting an event from the list. This connects the note to that event, but the note’s date doesn’t automatically become a calendar event.

If you want to see your calendar events in the sidebar, make sure Agenda has access to your calendars. You can check this in Agenda’s settings under the Calendar section.

Hope that helps!
